Chapter 1138 Optimization of Merlin's House

Xia Shou returned to his dormitory lost in thought, then stood there absentmindedly with his arms outstretched, like a scarecrow.

He stood there stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and realized that Alice was no longer with him, so no one was helping him take off his clothes anymore.

"Looks like I'll have to get used to it from now on." Xia Shou sighed, and just as he was about to take off his clothes, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder and gently took off his coat.

Xia Shou's eyes widened immediately.

This feeling of taking off my clothes!
He knew it was Alice without even turning around!
Xia Shou turned around and saw Alice standing behind him with her eyes closed, helping him take off his clothes.

Although both involve taking off clothes, there are still significant differences compared to before. For example, the previous Alice was a spirit, while the current Alice has a physical body, so the colors on her body and so on have become more vivid.

Her soft, golden hair shone like gold; her skin was fair and smooth; her eyes were tightly closed, adorned with fine eyelashes; and her lips were a cherry blossom color.

Even though they had always been together day and night, a very subtle sense of unfamiliarity suddenly arose when Alice became a physical being, making Xia Shou feel somewhat uneasy and awkward.

Xia Shou's clothes were taken off, and then Alice casually tossed the coat into the air. A semi-transparent hand appeared out of thin air, caught the clothes Alice threw out, and took them into the bathroom.

More ghostly hands appeared, the brooms in the room began to move on their own, and the sound of water running could be heard from the bathroom, followed by the washing of the mop.

"I've been away for several days, and this place hasn't been cleaned yet. Please wait a moment," Alice said with a gentle smile, bowing slightly with a very intimate and respectful air.

"Um..." Xia Shou scratched his forehead, thought for a moment, "So Alice, what's your current situation?"

"Situation? What do you mean, Lord Natsumori?"

"Now that you're free to move around, that's why I asked this question."

"Ah, that's true. Now this body makes some things easier for me, allowing me to do more for you, but it also makes some things inconvenient, such as not being able to stay by your side at all times. That's something I'm also troubled by."

"It's alright." Xia Shou waved his hand and took the warm milk that Alice had poured and warmed in the microwave.

"But Alice, how did you get in? Wasn't the dorm room door locked?"

“I can open a door to connect the two spaces, just like opening the door to Merlin’s House, so Lord Natsumori, you can call me in your mind and I can come to your side at any time… Of course, there must be something nearby that can access the door,” Alice said.

Upon mentioning Merlin's House, Natsumori's expression immediately turned serious.

"How is the situation at Merlin's House now?"

“It doesn’t seem good, but I’ve already sent Vero back inside, so the imbalance of desires has been somewhat curbed,” Alice said.

Xia Shou was shocked to hear this: "This works? Doesn't it have to be sealed to be effective?"

"That's right, it is indeed a seal, but because Vero is very well-behaved, I locked it up and it didn't resist."

"Lord Natsumori, would you like to visit Merlin's House?"

Xia Shou pondered for a moment and nodded: "Let's go and take a look."

Alice reached out, grasped the bathroom doorknob, and slowly opened it. The entrance to Merlin's House appeared behind the door, and a complex wind of desire wafted out from inside.

Xia Shou took a deep breath and stepped into the room. The air was thick with the scent of various desires, giving off a very ominous and chaotic impression. "Alice, what kind of desire is lacking right now?"

"Initially, it was because of Velo that the power of the splitting was too strong, causing the River of Molten Gold to be unable to function as a seal. After Velo escaped, the desire to supply Velo's products naturally caused the seal to begin to loosen."

The loosened doors released their desires, causing the resistance of some other doors to increase, so various materials were needed to grind down those sealed entities.

Just like how you used the remnants of the Blood Demon to weaken Idris, these sealed entities also need to be properly disciplined. Therefore, I adjusted the sealing strength of some doors, and a temporary balance has been achieved.

“So easy?”

"This is the duty of the guardian, but before this, I was in a state of hibernation for a long time, which is why I was unable to adjust the tightness of the various seals," Alice said.

Xia Shou frowned slightly and asked, "Then, what is the probability of it going out of control now?"

"As long as I can come often, I will definitely take good care of this house."

Alice raised her hand, and then Xia Shou heard the clanging and clattering of chains coming from under the floor, behind every door, and on the ceiling, as if endless iron snakes were writhing inside the floorboards and walls.

Xia Shou gasped, feeling somewhat excited.

awesome!
In this way, he no longer needs to worry about Merlin's House going out of control, and the most troublesome risk is eliminated.

"Then do we need to satisfy the desires of these sealed beings inside the doors to summon them?" Xia Shou pressed.

According to the principles previously mentioned in the Death Note, Merlin's House uses the desires generated by one sealed entity as the sealing raw materials for another sealed entity, thereby achieving a balance of mutual generation and restraint.

In other words, Merlin's House can actually produce a large number of different kinds of desires to serve as materials.

Now that Alice can adjust the tightness of the seal to control the desires produced by each door.

Does that mean that he can summon the sealed entity inside the gate unconditionally without collecting desire materials in the future?

Alice pondered for a moment before explaining, "Lord Xia Shou, it's like this: the method you mentioned is possible, but desire, as the key to open the door, needs to reach a certain amount."

So... if you can tell me in advance which door you want to open, I can arrange it within a certain timeframe.

It's like brewing wine. Although each door produces different desires, under normal circumstances, their desires will eventually neutralize each other and become water. To create a special wine, you need enough time.

If you tell me about most things a week in advance, I can prepare and even if I don't open the door later, I can still dilute the desire for excess output.

However, if you need to use it in an emergency, you'll probably have to prepare special materials to satisfy your desires.

Furthermore, to maximize the effectiveness of some sealed entities after their doors are opened, certain ritual spells are needed, like the ghost groom you summoned before.

Xia Shou looked around, examining each door, nodding repeatedly with satisfaction in his eyes.

"Very good! Very good! That's enough!"
